H&R lowering springs installation - any suggestions for installation in Montreal?

Batmobile · 04-20-2014, 09:28 AM

As the title says, i am looking for a good shop tominstall my springs. It seems that many are scared to touch a 2014 xdrive, and dealer is asking 800$ for installation...

I have an 2014 xDrive and plan to install HR Springs in the next few weeks.

why are people scared to install on 2014 xDrive? Many people have successfully installed on 2013 xDrive.

No idea, they say the xdrive is difficult in the front and are squared to brake somethig.

I was quoted around 360$ and no alignment needed.

They only do BMWs I think

its to funny, I called the guy and he told me, "Oh my" Second 335 2014 I will do next week. I told him you referred me there. I am going on Thursday, when are you going?

Nowe · 04-27-2014, 05:01 PM

Nice man I'm going there Thursday morning also. Which color is your car? Mines an Valencia Orange.

I was a bit pissed off cuz my appointment was last week but they rescheduled me because they had too much work and no time to do my car... I hope this week it will be done

If it includes realignment that's not bad. It needs realignment IMO.

Batmobile · 05-01-2014, 10:21 AM

Dude,

Saw your car this morning. Looks sick! Cant wait to see them with springs on!

jasonF30 · 05-01-2014, 12:59 PM

I wanna see some pics!!!!

Nowe · 05-02-2014, 02:19 PM

where can i host my pics from my cellphone?

The result is awesome, no rubbing yet

Nowe · 05-02-2014, 03:01 PM

Nowe · 05-02-2014, 03:03 PM

Here's a front Pic. Lower than a can of maple syrup

Now let's see how it will handle on the streets of Montreal

jasonF30 · 05-02-2014, 04:03 PM

looks awesome!! keep us updated on the ride/handling.

335i_4D · 05-02-2014, 05:15 PM

Let's just hope that the excellent road condition will leave you with the front end pretty much intact !
In MTL, they feed the potholes with cars from time to time...

Jokes aside, really nice look and color !

xpidex · 05-04-2014, 11:37 AM

Nice look!! Is it true that the steering wheel ratio must be adjusted/reset??? They were telling me that at the stealership!!

are any of you aware of this???

avantix · 05-04-2014, 07:27 PM

Promec garage is where I did my spring change. Very professional and I know the owner since we were little kids. 4 hours labor at 55 an hour 220 plus tax out the door. He's done mine 2 times already since I had to bring it in for service. They are on Bellerose in Laval.
